We stayed here four nights in July 2025. The house is attractive and feels surprisingly spacious despite the modest size. The front room has a high ceiling and lots of windows. The bedroom is roomy and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with a large fridge, and the bathroom contains a large shower with nice design features. We appreciated having the washer and dryer, and the front porch was a great place to drink coffee and watch bunnies in the mornings! The location is convenient to Bryson City, Cherokee, Sylva, Deep Creek and lots more. Reaching the house requires a short drive along a one-lane road with some blind curves, which was a little nerve-wracking the first few times. But all in all, this is a great little house!

Peaceful Weekend Getaway

This home was perfect for a weekend getaway for two. The setting was quiet and peaceful. The home was very nice, extremely clean, and well maintained. The bed was so comfortable. We loved the rain head shower. The hot tub was a big perk. We hiked and went to the casino during our stay and the location was ideal right between downtown Bryson and Cherokee. Would definitely recommend and we plan to return!

Perfect Getaway

A perfect modern cabin in the hills of North Carolina. We really enjoyed our time here. The cabin had almost everything we needed to relax and stay in. The Christmas decorations were a fun touch, and the hot tub was just what we were looking for during a cold week. The area was quiet, and it felt private. The only things we noticed are there were not any tools for the grill (grill brush) and no oven-safe deep dish. Highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a mountain getaway that still feels like home.

Smoky mountain retreat

Peaceful beautiful and comfortable cabin in the mountains minutes from Cherokee and the smoky mountain national park. I was very happy in my choice of locations on the quieter North Carolina side. Enjoyed exploring the quiet Cataloochee and Deep Creek areas of the park and all of the Cherokee cultural sites. I have to admit the mountain road that the cabin is on intimidated me at first until I got used to it. I would not have wanted to arrive for the first time at night. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Brian and Sarah’s cabin in the mountains.

So disappointing

This place was a huge letdown. The slippery stones outside are a major hazard, I actually slipped multiple times. The inside floors are a death trap if any water gets on them which does when there's a hottub. I fell and hurt my knee day one. It felt like safety and basic comfort were afterthoughts.Inside, the linens, towels and toilet paper were thin and scratchy and looked like they came from the dollar store. The sheets didn’t even smell clean. Every single freaking night, the fitted sheet came loose and woke us up. There was a constant nasty odor we couldn't escape, and we found cobwebs in the corners and dirt on the lamps. The whole place just felt poorly maintained. We ended up buying candles just to try and get rid of the smell. The hot tub was a joke.. the cover was falling apart, the headrests were missing, and the whole thing looked and felt neglected. We loved hottubing with chunks of plastic in the water. No coffee was provided either, which is such a basic thing. Hot water didn't last longer than 10-15 minutes, the shower door strip was falling off which made the shower door not even close right.Everything felt like it was done as cheaply as possible. It’s clear they care more about making as much as possible vs making their guests feel comfortable or safe.Lastly, free speech exists. The audacity to try and control what language I use at the vacation home I paid for with my own money.. hilarious. Do better guys. This sucked.
